June 3rd officially marks the unofficial LUMi day! Much like with many other virtual synths, there’s a pun that gives LUMi her own day. “Lu/Ru” sounds close to “Lo/Ro,” which is what the Japanese word for 6 (“roku”) starts with. And we all know “Mi” can be for “3” (3/9=Miku Day). We can’t help but wonder if AVA thought of this in advance before releasing LUMi’s free trial on this day! AVA also announced a LUMi song contest and even demos featuring her voice.
Examples of 'free' software include the following: UTAU - This is a free Vocaloid-like software which is heavily supported as an alternative to Vocaloid itself.
